Does anyone actually want a lower-than-stock hp map?

OpenFlash · 02-03-2009, 11:16 AM

I've seen this request before and I'm not sure if you guys are being serious

Currently, the lowest boost level we go is when running the valet map. And that runs stock boost. Does anyone want a legitimate low boost map (2-3psi of boost). Perhaps coupled with more advance and leaner AFR targets for max fuel economy?

Hmmmmm i.e. Girlfriend map?

Could be interesting to see how much fuel economy improves though.

zsapphire7 · 02-03-2009, 11:19 AM

yes!! It would be convenient because even though i regulate my foot to drive below 2psi at all times for commuting, this would allow for a better freeway entrance + a way better map for valet. 270whp is still quite a bit..

M3EST · 02-03-2009, 11:21 AM

No way.Lets be serious.People who ask that will be owners of 335 by mistake.

mwahlert · 02-03-2009, 11:21 AM

yeah it would be nice to cripple the car before letting untrusted persons drive it..

munters · 02-03-2009, 11:22 AM

Just adjust the scale of the user adjustable torque 0% = 2PSI and 100% = 16PSI or so would be enough.

Sniz · 02-03-2009, 11:30 AM

its a good idea, I let a few people drive my car...including a girl. It would have been a good idea to give them the car w/ less HP. Christ, my ex drove a car w 120hp....then she gets behind the wheel of a 450hp+ car and she needed to change her panties. It was funny actually.

RMA · 02-03-2009, 11:32 AM

What 450 HP car did she drive?

You do know 335's dyno 270-276 stock right.

my car (335) on race gas. I let my ex ex ex ex ex ex girlfriend drive my Camaro back in the day.......that was classic. 500hp pro-touring '69 Camaro w a super stiff racing clutch 6MT being piloted by a college girl around a parking lot. Lol.

phattbam · 02-03-2009, 11:35 AM

if it's possible to integrate this to Rix's digiboostgaugemapswitcher thingy majingy.. I'd love it.

I have map 1 - full force, map 2 - not so full force, map 3 - valet, map 4 - map 1 setting.

I would love to have that below stock for the new map 4.

enrita · 02-03-2009, 11:35 AM

yeah that would be the perfect girlfriend map

CubanJJ09 · 02-03-2009, 11:39 AM

i let my gf drive my car, she was shocked. i was nagging her to give it gas. i had to lean over and push her leg down on the gas pedal. shes like no no no, but she like it

no means yes, no motherfucker.... means no

i2iSTUDIOS · 02-03-2009, 11:39 AM

**335i** · 02-03-2009, 12:38 PM

its nice, 1 map stock map 2 race map

getInline · 02-03-2009, 12:49 PM

yes, except add an option to make valet mode less than stock. I always leave it in valet until the car heats up anyway...don't want to be making boost with cold oil.

My wife always gets valet mode....

bubbletea 4 me · 02-03-2009, 12:49 PM

interesting idea but i don't really see the reason for it. if you want below stock boost/performance, get a 328.
335i stock is pretty tame if driven normally, i see girls drive it all the time. of course, no one touches my car unless it's those who i trust who can handle it, then it becomes a non-issue. afterall, it's still a bmw with all kinda safety nannies.. not a 500 whp muscle car, so it's much easier to drive.

Vince@ V K Motorwerks · 02-03-2009, 12:54 PM

I wouldnt mind, I would label that as the winter map. I have a real tough time driving around when there is a thin sheet of snow because of the tq. Once I stop its hard to get moving again. Even valet is too much.
